Apsara Erotic Art of Khajuraho

Apsaras are beautiful, female, supernatural sprites. Youth and elegant, they’ve mastered the art of dancing. Often their husbands are Gandharvas, musicians to the court of Indra. While they entertain and dance in the palaces of the gods, they also sometimes seduce both gods and humans. Similar to the Valkyries of the Vikings Norse myths, they’re caretakers of fallen heroes.
